70 percent of Gaddafi's land armoury destroyed by NATO airstrikes

Seventy percent of land armoury belonging to Libyan leader Colonel  Gaddafi has reportedly been destroyed by NATO airstrikes.
The Sun quoted a top Libyan government source as saying that RAF planes alone have wiped off one third of his military capability.
The airstrikes carried out for about 60 days have destroyed 1,300 of his 1,914 battle tanks, over 550 of 800 armoured carriers, and 1,750 of 2,421 field guns.
Twenty-two countries attending a summit in Rome last night concluded that Gaddafi and his family should leave Libya, with a diplomatic source saying that the allies have planned to stop supplying arms, and African mercenaries to the oil-rich country.
It is also reported that last night, the Libyan regime had illegally fired rockets and cluster bombs at residential areas in Misrata. (ANI)
